Bachelor of Science

A bachelor of science (B.S.) degree generally provides for in-depth study within a major discipline, or may integrate knowledge from more than one discipline, and includes a foundational liberal arts education. The B.S. degree involves additional supporting technical or professional coursework with the outcomes of students effectively communicating, engaging with relevant metaphysical issues, attaining in-depth knowledge of a chosen discipline and incorporating expertise from related disciplines which typically lead to a specific or professional career path. These outcomes are accomplished through completing the following requirements:

• 6 credit hours in a relevant field outside the major as follows (specific courses that fulfill this requirement are identified by each B.S. degree program):
  • 3 credit hours for the Effective Communication requirement, fulfilled by CST 107, CST 327, CST 332, ENG 107, or ENG 311.
  • 3 credit hours of upper-division learning outside the primary major for the Commitment and Consciousness requirement. This requirement is fulfilled by those upper-division courses designated for the Exploration level in the UP Core and addressing either the Diversity & the Common Good Habit or the Global & Historical Consciousness Habit.
